tty: Fix lock order in tty_do_resize()

Commits 6a1c068 and
9356b53, respectively
  'tty: Convert termios_mutex to termios_rwsem' and
  'n_tty: Access termios values safely'
introduced a circular lock dependency with console_lock and
termios_rwsem.

The lockdep report [1] shows that n_tty_write() will attempt
to claim console_lock while holding the termios_rwsem, whereas
tty_do_resize() may already hold the console_lock while
claiming the termios_rwsem.

Since n_tty_write() and tty_do_resize() do not contend
over the same data -- the tty->winsize structure -- correct
the lock dependency by introducing a new lock which
specifically serializes access to tty->winsize only.

which lock already depends on the new lock.

other info that might help us debug this:

Chain exists of:
  &tty->termios_rwsem --> console_lock --> (fb_notifier_list).rwsem

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:
